    He imagined he got drunk.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Just borrowed "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks" By Adam Carolla. The blurb got me:

    A couple years back, I was at the Phoenix airport bar. It was empty except for one heavy-set, gray bearded, grizzled guy who looked like he just rode his donkey into town after a long day of panning for silver in them thar hills. He ordered a Jack Daniels straight up, and that's when I overheard the young guy with the earring behind the bar asking him if he had ID. At first the old sea captain just laughed. But the guy with the twinkle in his ear asked again. At this point it became apparent that he was serious. Dan Haggerty's dad fired back, "You've got to be kidding me, son." The bartender replied, "New policy. Everyone has to show their ID." Then I watched Burl Ives reluctantly reach into his dungarees and pull out his military identification card from World War II.
    Well, we'll see how well Adam makes his point.
    “The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
    --Philip K. Dick

    Just finished the Water book. It appears he was "debunked" by scientists, religious and big money people...but his book was mostly about living smaller, in harmony with the earth and eachother and you dont need big oil or religion...so of course they will seek to "debunk" him. He's alright by me.

    I am now on to Wager With The Wind; The Don Sheldon Story. A legendary bush pilot in Alaska...i recognize most of the places and have been to his hometown of Talkeetna quite a few times. Its an older book, written by his friends and released in October of 1974, he would be dead a few months after that, so its kind of weird reading about him with that in mind. So far, though, its well written with a lot of adventures. Its a good read for the aviation minded among us.
